Poetry

Gods of Water and Air

“In Gods of Water and Air, Rachel Dacus turns a painterly eye onto both the nooks and crannies of our world—‘hints of rose madder in the cerulean,’ a palm tree’s ‘rigid, rattling arguments’—and ‘the blue immensity’ that holds us all.”

– Molly Fisk, author of Blow-Drying a Chicken

“Dacus’ book will invite you to journey with her through adventures in art museums, pie baking, and eagle-spotting.”

A God You Can Dance

“Refreshing little bursts of thought… yes it’s spoken poetry but not artificial or self-conscious… it is more like the inner monologues we usually have going during the day, but always with a twist that elevates the observation to find a new meaning in the most ordinary things…. widely varied, some of them have light sound effects and music, some work better than others, but the variety keeps it fresh with repeated listenings. Listen while commuting, on an exercise walk, etc. as well as at home… A booklet in the CD has all the words to the poems—If you like Billy Collins or Rumi, you’ll like this.”
